Week 12: Class 4/17 Sunday

[He, Guangming]

Dear All,

 

Several very important notes below, please read carefully:

1. Thanks for parents’ help, we had first round of teacher interviews last week. We are planning to have one more round before the end of this semester.
2. Considering what happened recently in classrooms, the school with input from parents, teachers, parent reps and permission from the school board, has decided to implement a school-wide rule on classroom management that we would like teachers to adopt and enforce. Here are the details:

a)      If a student does not follow teachers’ instruction/rule and school’s rules, teacher may warn him/her at most three times during one Sunday lesson (2 hours)

b)      If after three times, the student still violates rules/instructions, teacher needs to report that and bring that student immediately to school officers on duty

c)       In this case, school will collect details and work with parents/parent reps/teachers to resolve this issue. The actions may be for example, parents sitting in classroom, suspending 2 weeks, or dismissing the student from the school (the worst)

(All parents please read carefully and if any comments/recommendations/questions, please see school administrators at room 110 or email us)

3. Also, as the semester is close to the end, please send us your comments on your teacher to help us evaluate their performance and give constructive recommendations to their teaching. You are encouraged to collect feedback from your kids as well.
4. Please see the school’s financial reports of the past three semesters: http://msuchineseschool.org/index.php/about/financial-reports-2/
5. Financial seminar on education fund by Cindy Liu, Room 110, 10:40 – 12 pm

如何为子女准备教育基金及有效地申请助学金

在美国，孩子上大学的花费非常可观，普通的州内公立学校每年花费要2万到3万，而私立学校可高达6万。如何最科学，有效的准备这笔钱，并且尽可能多的得到学校和政府的资助？我们会为广大家长分享以下信息：

 1. 美国2015 -2016年的大学学费和学费未来的增长趋势；

2. 美国大学奖学金与助学金概述；

3. 申请大学助学金的程序；

4. 在考虑子女教育基金时, 也要考虑它与其他家庭需求之间的影响, 必须全盘考虑; 例如:家里的房子贷款是否要尽快付清？房子是家庭的资产, 将来会不会影响孩子申请助学金？存款，投资，退休，教育基金帐号里的资产是否会影响小孩申请助学金？如何早做准备，合理调整资产分配，从而获得更多的助学金。

5. 家庭在申请奖助学金中常见的错误和误区；

6. 如果需要给孩子准备教育基金，现有的教育基金计划有哪些种类？它们各有什么利弊？

 考虑到每个家庭的情况不同，我们还愿意义务为家长们在讲座后提供一个小时左右的单独咨询。请大家提前预约，以便安排时间顺序。
